I know that hbm2hbmxml generates the necessary mapping files (*.hbm.xml) from a given datasource. You can then use hbm2java which will use those hbm.xml files as an input and will output Java classes. Is there a way of generating Java Annotated classes from the datasource without having to rely on the hbm.xml files?

Thanks.

You can use hbm2java for reverse engineering. There are the hibernate tools docs:

http://docs.jboss.org/tools/3.2.1.GA/en/hibernatetools/html_single/index.html#refeng_codegen

With the reveng file configuration you can instruct hibernate tools to create the java model from the database.

And there is one example from another SO question:

How to configure maven hbm2hbmxml and hbm2java to run one after the other in mvn clean install
